Though all my crimes before thee lie,
Behold them not with angry look,
But blot their memory from thy book.

Nor hide thy presence from my heart.
3 I cannot live without thy light,
Cast out and banish'd from thy sight:

And guard me, that I fall no more.
4 Though I have griev'd thy spirit, Lord,
His help and comfort still afford,

To plead the merits of thy Son.

Is all the sacrifice I bring;
The God of grace will ne'er despise
A broken heart for sacrifice.

And owns thy dreadful sentence just;
Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye,
And save the soul condemn'd to die.

Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace;
I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood,
And they shall praise a pardoning God.
